South Dade Automotive Opens New DC

(Akron/Tire Review) South Dade Automotive, an American Car Care Center master distributor, has opened a second distribution center in Tampa, Fla.

“The new facility will give us the extended reach to better service our West Coast customers and expand the current base of business,” said Jorge Pola Jr., president. “With the heavy growth on the west coast of Florida, this was a natural step for us to grow our business. Together with our Miami distribution center, we will be better equipped to expand our inventories and service levels.”

South Dade Automotive is headquartered in Miami and services the South Florida markets and conducts export business in the Caribbean, Central and South America.

The distributor offers Continental-General, Yokohama, Hankook, Nankang, Michelin, BFGoodrich, Pirelli, and Falken tire lines to its 19 member dealers.
